Louie and Nikki embraced and honored Ilocano culture in the most intentional way on their wedding day. Behind the grandeur of this 450-guest wedding are details that are so thoughtful, meaningful, and filled with Ilocano pride. Their venue is none other than UNESCO World Heritage site, Paoay Church. Their wedding favors showcase the excellence of Ilocos Norte’s homegrown products – Bugnay Wines, Sukang Iloco, Ilocos white garlic, local sea salt.
And the fashion? “The Barong Tagalog and Filipiniana silhouettes added a regal touch, highlighting Ilocano Inabel pride,” says Nikki.
She adds, “What we envisioned came to life with intention and heart. Every detail from the attire, the food, the immersive activities reflected Ilocano wedding pride and tradition.”
